For and during the term of this Agreement, TCIS shall manage and operate the Schools in accordance with
Applicable Law. “Applicable Law” means all state and federal laws, rules, regulations, and administrative and
judicial determinations and decisions that govern the performance of this Agreement, as they currently exist or as

1. The Schools.

a) TCIS shall have the option to phase in the full implementation of its model at any new TCIS School
over the first year of the School’s operation and thereafter.

b) TCIS is committed to ensuring that students of the Schools receive a complete educational program
based on the requirements of each School’s charter and the applicable Texas law consistent with
TCIS’s mission. TCIS will assume responsibility for the educational processes, and the
management and operation of the TCIS Schools in collaboration with the District. TCIS will
devote the necessary time and effort and the District will retain and allocate sufficient personnel
to meet the educational goals of the TCIS Schools.

c) By this Agreement, the District herein authorizes TCIS to manage and operate the TCIS Schools,
as independent campuses subject to transparent accountability requirements, which are set by TEC
Chapters 39 and 39A and the provisions of this Agreement. TCIS must successfully meet and
maintain the Performance Contract objectives for the TCIS Schools as set forth in this Agreement
and as governed by SAISD Board Policy EL(LOCAL). Further authorizations will be contingent
upon TCIS successfully meeting and maintaining the Performance Contract objectives for the
TCIS Schools. Future authorization of additional schools is also dependent upon the results of an
annual audited TCIS financial and compliance report. TCIS and SAISD are committed to gathering
working data at the TCIS Schools and collaboratively developing more specific metrics as data is
gathered throughout the Term of this Agreement. The District shall have final authority on the
development of all performance contracts for the TCIS Schools.

d) The District agrees that it will provide TCIS the same opportunities, support, and services provided
to any other charter located in the District (regardless of that charter’s authorizer) in authorizing
TCIS to operate the TCIS Schools and as required by law.

e) TCIS will have discretion as to whether it will open and operate additional schools; however, TCIS
and the Superintendent for the District must mutually agree when and which additional schools
will be opened within the District.

f) TCIS retains the right to seek authorization as an open enrollment charter holder under Texas
Education Code 12.101 in order to support, manage, and/or operate open enrollment charter
schools in Bexar County that will operate independently of the Agreement.

2. Enrollment.

a) Choice Schools and Programs include in-district charters, magnets, and early college high schools.
The TCIS Schools will be designated as Choice Schools. As district choice schools, the TCIS
Schools will follow district policies and administrative procedures for the enrollment and
withdrawal of all students, including, but not limited to, policies FD(LOCAL) and FDB(LOCAL)
and administrative procedures F1 and F51. Staff from the Office of Access and Enrollment
Services will meet annually with both the campus principals and the chief operating officer to
review admissions criteria and establish the number of seats available for enrollment in each grade
level.

b) Enrollment at the Schools is based on interest rather than ability. Students are not screened based
on academic criteria but admitted by a lottery. The District and TCIS may agree to set aside a
certain percentage of students from outside the school district boundary.

2
 c) The Parties agree and understand that the District may not assign a student to a School unless the
student’s parent or guardian has voluntarily enrolled the student at the School. A student’s parent
or guardian may remove the student from the School at any time and enroll the student at the school
to which the student would ordinarily be assigned.

d) TCIS and the TCIS Schools will participate in the District’s unified enrollment system.

e) The District’s Office of Access and Enrollment Services shall include the TCIS Schools’ brand
and the TCIS Schools’ information on any student recruitment or enrollment marketing materials
and shall invite the TCIS Schools to attend any student recruitment events, such as in-district
charter fairs, as part of the administrative fee.

f) In conjunction with the District, the TCIS Schools will lead the student recruitment and enrollment
process through a lottery (if there are more applicants than there are seats at the TCIS Schools)
and enrollment phases. The TCIS Schools will support District efforts by canvassing, holding open
houses, attending District recruiting events and community meetings, mailing acceptance and
waitlist letters and making calls to families to help with enrollment decisions, sending follow-up
letters to admitted students, conducting on-campus enrollment meetings, calling waitlisted
students, and monitoring attendance during the opening weeks of school in case additional students
need to be called from the waitlist.

g) In addition to the enrollment restrictions required by TEC §11.174(h) and (i) and District Policy
FDB(LOCAL) and Administrative Procedure F1 and F51, the following student enrollment
provisions, subject to the provisions of state law and as may be revised by the Parties as necessary
to meet the federal definition of a charter school, shall be followed by the Parties:

i. The TCIS Schools will work with the District to ensure preferences for current students
attending the campuses in the school year before its conversion under this Agreement.
ii. Students in lower grade levels at the TCIS Schools will receive automatic admission to the
next grade level.
iii. As seats become available at the TCIS Schools, enrollment will be open to all students within
the State of Texas, subject to the priority rules described in state law, FDB(LOCAL),
Administrative Procedure F51, and this Agreement.
iv. The TCIS Schools’ students will be allowed to transfer to any of the District’s schools when
seats are available and in accordance with the Parties’ respective transfer policies and
administrative procedures for Choice Schools and Programs.

h) TCIS and the TCIS Schools are prohibited from discriminatory admission or expulsion of a student
on the basis of a student’s national origin, ethnicity, race, religion, disability, academic
achievement, or sex, including sexual orientation or gender identity.

3. Operations

a) TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will have autonomy to run all aspects of the School subject only
to federal, state, local law, and this Agreement to the fullest extent possible and if the students
perform satisfactorily as provided by this Agreement.

b) TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will retain as much authority and autonomy as permitted by law
or TEA Rule, including 19 Tex. Admin. Code §§ 97.1075 and 97.1079, over its Schools and
operations. Any authority or responsibility not specifically given to the District in the Agreement
or by law or TEA Rule, will remain with TCIS and the TCIS Schools including, but not limited to,
the following:
3
 i. TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will have sole discretion concerning the mission, vision
and core values of the School in accordance with applicable State Law and each School’s
charter.

ii. TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will have authority over strategic planning (e.g. grade
configuration, calendar, staffing structure, budgeting, etc.) for the Schools in consultation
with the District.

iii. TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff shall have full autonomy with regard to the academic
program of the Schools (subject to state standards), including, but not limited to,
curriculum, length and design of the school day, the academic calendar, class size and
teacher leveling (subject to universally applied District staffing formulas and in accordance
with Section 8 below), professional development, and summer school. TCIS staff, in
consultation with the District, will provide the Schools with comprehensive program
design, including proprietary curriculum development and implementation, curriculum
scope and sequence, instructional oversight, common standards, the development,
administration and analysis of diagnostic assessments, and the oversight, measurement,
and management of comprehensive school quality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
TCIS Schools will participate in beginning-of-year, middle-of-year, and end-of-year
district-wide NWEA MAP assessments. In the event that the District decides to stop
implementing NWEA MAP assessments, the Parties will mutually agree upon any
replacement assessments required for the TCIS Schools. TCIS staff, in consultation with
the District, will also support the Schools’ Arts, Athletics, and Civics programming through
curriculum planning, professional development, and strategic partnerships.

to, compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”); the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended; Titles
VI and IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
(“FERPA”) and other areas of law applicable to LEA’s including those described in TEC §12.056.
However, TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will implement its own programs for students in special
populations including, but not limited to, those who qualify for special education, gifted and
talented students, and English Learners (ELs) at the Schools, subject to and consistent, however,
with all applicable state and/or federal requirements.

i. TCIS will operate the Schools with an English as a Second Language/content-based

program that will provide native language supports needed for students to achieve mastery
of content area standards, as well as proficiency in English. ELs will have access to all
curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities available to all other students.
Current demographics indicate that the largest population of ELs will be native Spanish
speakers; therefore, TCIS and the TCIS Schools will make all efforts to recruit staff
members who are proficient in Spanish. In addition, professional development for school
staff will be tailored to support the bilingual development of the TCIS Schools students
and to encourage and preserve the culture of the school’s community. The TCIS Schools
will ensure interpretation and translation support and/or services for families whose
dominant language is not English.

ii. The TCIS Schools staff will work with the District in the creation and staffing of the ARD
Committee or 504 teams and will work with the District to schedule all committee or team
meetings and to provide a free appropriate public education (“FAPE”), equal educational

4
 opportunity, procedural safeguards and due process to students enrolled at the TCIS
Schools.

iii. As the responsible LEA, the District will have the authority to periodically review the TCIS
Schools’ programs for special populations for legal compliance, through a mutually
agreed-upon process.

iv. The District will provide the full continuum of placements for students whose IEP requires
placement or services outside of the TCIS Schools’ programs, and the District will provide
all related services directly (or by contract) and will be responsible for providing all

psychological evaluations, and/or neuropsychological evaluations) in accordance with
applicable legal timelines or otherwise as agreed by a student’s ARD Committee.

v. TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff will work with the District in helping the District remain
in compliance with the IDEA’s Child Find and FAPE obligations. TCIS and the TCIS
Schools may choose to utilize the District’s services and supports in the provision of
student services other than related services referenced above and in Section 10.a.3 where
TCIS and the TCIS Schools staff deems that District provision of those services and
supports are appropriate and best for students, and such arrangement will be provided with
District funding.

vi. The District will delegate to TCIS the authority to procure federal grants and federal Title
funds for use at the TCIS Schools, subject to applicable federal and state law and
implementing regulations. To the extent that any federal or state grant funds, differential
funding, High Cost Funds (“HCF”) or State Compensatory Education Funds exists for any
special student(s) or populations it will be passed through to the TCIS Schools for use at
the TCIS Schools.

d) TCIS and the TCIS Schools shall adopt the District’s FO Series (LOCAL and LEGAL) policies,
as amended, and related District administrative procedures, regarding student discipline, including
the District’s Student Code of Conduct. TCIS will have freedom to instill its culture at the TCIS
Schools events or activities and select its own behavior management programs and strategies that
are in alignment with the District’s Code of Conduct.

compliance and for grants to the School subject to Section 3(l) below. The TCIS School staff will
manage the school in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including but
not limited to civil rights and non-discrimination laws, and laws protecting students with
disabilities. Absent the provision of legal services by TCIS and the TCIS Schools, it shall consult

belief that the District’s interests may be jeopardized and specifically when there is a likelihood or
reasonable belief that the District may suffer legal exposure to suit or liability.

thereby and each remaining provision of the Agreement shall continue to be valid and may be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, if the TEA does not approve a material
autonomy listed above in Section 3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parties agree to reform

the TCIS Schools to another assignment within the District shall not be considered an adverse
employment action.

d) A person may not be employed by or serve as a teacher, librarian, educational aide, administrator,
or school counselor for the TCIS Schools unless the person meets TEA requirements following a

professional staff in accordance with the District’s policies, administrative procedures, and
timelines. The District execution of those evaluations shall not interfere with TCIS and the TCIS

TEC §11.174.

5) State, Federal, and Private block grants obtained by the District to be distributed to its
students.

6) Local district funds.

l) References to “fiscal year” in this Agreement means the annual period beginning July 1 and ending
June 30.

m) TCIS and the TCIS Schools shall maintain a collaborative and working relationship with the
District’s Financial Services Department.

n) Within 120 days after the end of the District’s fiscal year, the District shall provide TCIS with a
written report detailing all TCIS School funds received by the District and the expenditure of those
funds as contemplated by this Agreement.

9. Management Fee.

a) As compensation for its services hereunder, TCIS shall receive a management fee (the
“Management Fee”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 10% of gross SB 1882 Funds or (ii)
$100 per ADA student enrolled at the TCIS Schools. The Management Fee shall be paid
exclusively from SB 1882 Funds actually received by the District for the TCIS Schools, and the
District’s obligation to pay the Management Fee shall be contingent upon the District’s receipt of
SB 1882 Funds. The Management Fee will be paid to TCIS pursuant to a schedule mutually
agreed upon by the Parties.

11
 b) If the Texas Legislature repeals or defunds Senate Bill 1882 or changes the amount of SB 1882
Funds awarded to the District on a per pupil basis, either Party may request a revision to the
Management Fee. In such case, both Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of the
Management Fee. If the Parties cannot mutually agree on a revised Management Fee within sixty
days of the request for a revision, either Party shall have the right to terminate this contract.

10. Performance Contract Metrics and Annual Financial Audit and Compliance Report.

a) The Superintendent of Schools of the District or his designee shall develop a charter School
Performance Framework (“SPF”) by which the TCIS Schools will be evaluated in consultation
with TCIS. The SPF will inform District decisions related to campus replacement, restart, or
closure.

b) TCIS and the TCIS Schools will be subject to SAISD board policy EL(LOCAL), which describes
school performance, performance contracts, and the process for charter renewal, probation and
revocation. Performance objectives may include, but not be limited to student proficiency,
academic growth, and college readiness. Additional objectives as well as a timeline may be
developed for charters established at campuses that do not meet state accountability standards.

c) The School Performance Framework shall inform the development and execution of tentative
performance contracts for all TCIS Schools at the time a TCIS School is authorized by the Board
of Trustees and incorporated into this Agreement. For any TCIS School that is a new startup
school, the Superintendent or designee shall hold a conference with TCIS’s Chief Operating
Officer (“COO”) and principal in the fall of year two of the School’s operation to establish
performance baselines and set three- or five-year student achievement targets aligned to the state
accountability standards and the District’s School Performance Framework. The tentative
performance contract metrics shall then be finalized, approved by the Board of Trustees, and
attached to this Agreement. If any existing District school becomes a TCIS School subject to this
Agreement, the Superintendent or designee shall hold a conference with the COO and principal in
the fall of year one of the School’s operation to establish performance baselines and set three- or
five-year student achievement targets aligned to the state accountability standards and the
District’s School Performance Framework. The tentative performance contract metrics shall then
be finalized, approved by the Board of Trustees, and attached to this Agreement. Board decisions
related to campus charter renewal, probation, or revocation shall be based on the School
Performance Framework and this Agreement.

d) The Superintendent or designee will monitor, evaluate, and publish campus performance annually,
the results of which will determine whether the charter will be placed on probation, revoked, and/or
renewed on a three or five-year cycle by the Board of Trustees.

e) The TCIS Schools’ Performance Metrics are detailed in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Any future
changes to performance metrics will expressly require TCIS’s agreement, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. As additional schools are developed, each school’s performance metrics
will be individualized and will not apply to TCIS as a consolidated entity, subject to Section 16
below. The TCIS Schools will only be held to such performance metrics to the extent that the
District holds its own schools to the metrics. If the District does not enforce the State’s
accountability ratings framework for District schools, it will forfeit the right to enforce the state
accountability ratings framework against the TCIS Schools.

f) As required by 19 TAC 97.1075(d)(3) and SAISD Policy EL(LOCAL), TCIS will complete an
annual financial report of TCIS meeting the expectations outlined in 19 TAC 109.23 (relating to
School District Independent Audits and Agreed-Upon Procedures) and submit the resulting audited
12
 annual financial report, including an unqualified audit opinion, to the District within 150 days after
the close of the District’s fiscal year. The first audit will commence after completion of the 2020
fiscal year.

g) In accordance with SAISD Policy EL(LOCAL), the Board may place on probation or revoke the
charter of a TCIS School if the School:

i. Violates a provision of applicable state or federal law, which may result, after a cure
period, in revocation of the School’s charter at the conclusion of the school year;

ii. Fails to meet the metrics set forth in the performance contract for the School’s charter
after a three- or five-year review period;

iii. At the end of two school years, is rated as “improvement required” or fails to meet state
accountability standards or is at the bottom five percent in comparison to all campuses in
terms of student achievement in the District based on the school performance framework;
or

iv. Fails to meet generally accepted accounting standards for fiscal management.

11. Facilities.

a) The District shall be responsible for all custodial and maintenance services for the TCIS Schools.
The District will complete capital improvements for facilities owned by the District.

b) TCIS will be granted specific District campus access for the purpose of operating the Schools at
the agreed-upon District campus.

c) The District will provide the following to the TCIS Schools: facility repair and maintenance,
security equipment (cameras, door card readers, etc.) and technology infrastructure at a level
reasonably designed to meet the TCIS Schools’ technology requirements (Internet, phone,
overhead projectors, etc.). The District will also pay property insurance costs for District facilities
(see Finance and District Services sections of the Agreement) and the TCIS Schools may be a
named additional insured on all such insurance policies, or any program of self-insurance,
reinsurance policies, or risk pool participation that covers losses of or damages to real property
and structures owned by the District. The District is not responsible for insuring any personal
property owned by TCIS or the TCIS Schools.

d) By April 1 of each year, TCIS shall have access to any schools proposed for the school year
following. The District will agree to make any required repairs, as determined by TCIS, before the
TCIS Schools takes possession of the school.

e) The District will give TCIS access to records in the District’s possession on the condition of the
facility and maintenance and capital improvements are completed at the facility.

f) The District shall be responsible for ensuring the TCIS Schools maintain E-Occupancy from the
City of San Antonio, are suitable and fit for school use, and satisfy applicable ADA accessibility
requirements and any mandated school security requirements.

12. District Services.

a) The District will provide the following services at no cost to the TCIS Schools:

13
 1. Child Nutrition Program and Food Services as a pass-through. The District will remain the
Contracting Entity and School Food Authority for all purposes and TCIS and the TCIS
Schools will have no liability or responsibility for compliance with federal or state Child
Nutrition guidelines or legal requirements. TCIS and the TCIS Schools will maintain a
collaborative and working relationship with the District’s Food and Child Nutrition Services
division.

2. Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEP), in the event that such programs could
be necessary.

3. Related services for special education, Section 504, dyslexia, dysgraphia, hearing, vision,
orientation and mobility, assistive technology, adaptive equipment, speech, psychology,
orientation and mobility, reading, adaptive physical education, and occupational and physical
therapy. The TCIS Schools will maintain a collaborative and working relationship with the
District’s Special Education Department.

4. Technology infrastructure and maintenance services at the Schools. The TCIS Schools will
maintain a collaborative and working relationship with the District’s Technology and
Management Information Systems division.

5. Software licenses as required.

6. Other services to be agreed upon by the parties.

13. Best Practices.

a) The TCIS Schools will participate in any in-district charter school or Innovation Zone advisory
council or regularly occurring meeting established or called by the District.

b) A key goal of this Agreement will be to share best practices so that the TCIS Schools and the
District learn from each other in the pursuit of improved educational outcomes and to close the
achievement gap. Both Parties will share academic and operational data on a regular basis and
work collaboratively in a spirit of continuous improvement.

14. Representations; Warranties and Covenants.

Each of the Parties represents, warrants and covenants to the other Party that:

i. it has all the requisite power and authority necessary to execute and deliver this Agreement
and to perform its respective obligations hereunder (subject to TEA approval);

ii. it agrees to conduct its business in compliance with all applicable local, state, federal laws
and regulations, and this Agreement.

15. Trademarks; School Materials; Ownership and Use; New Intellectual Property.

a) Trademarks. Each of the Parties shall own its own intellectual property including without
limitation all trade secrets, know-how, proprietary data, documents, and written materials in any
format. Any materials created exclusively by the District for the Schools shall be owned by the
District, and any materials created exclusively by TCIS for the TCIS Schools shall be TCIS’s
proprietary material. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither has any intellectual
property interest or claims in the other Party’s proprietary materials. Notwithstanding the
14
 foregoing, materials and work product jointly created by the Parties shall be jointly owned by the
Parties and may be used by the individual Party as may be agreed upon by both Parties from time
to time.

b) Name. TCIS owns the intellectual property right and interest to the name “Texas Council for
International Studies.” The Parties agree that the name “Texas Council for International Studies”
may be used by either Party during the Term of the Agreement for these Schools. The Parties
agree that after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the District shall not use the
name “Texas Council for International Studies” for its own individual purposes.

c) School Materials. During the term of this Agreement, TCIS grants to the TCIS Schools a non-
exclusive license to use TCIS’s proprietary curriculum materials, including scope, sequence,
standards, do-nows, PBL units, exit tickets, exams, assessments, progress reports and other
materials (“Licensed Curriculum Materials”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that all instructional materials purchased or developed by the District for use by the
TCIS Schools (“Instructional Materials”), and all furnishings and equipment of the TCIS Schools,
other than those provided by TCIS), are the sole property of the District and that such Instructional
Materials shall not constitute Licensed Curriculum Materials.

d) Quality Control.

i. To protect and preserve the strength of the Licensed Trademarks and the associated
goodwill, the nature and the quality of the services provided by the TCIS Schools under
the Licensed Trademarks and the TCIS Schools‘ use of the Licensed Trademarks shall
conform to the standards of quality maintained by other Choice Schools utilizing Licensed
Trademarks. Without limiting the foregoing, the TCIS Schools shall use the Licensed
Trademarks only in the form and manner and with appropriate legends as prescribed from
time to time by TCIS and will not use any other trademark or service mark in combination
with the Licensed Trademarks without prior written approval of TCIS.

ii. The TCIS Schools shall use the Licensed Curriculum Materials in connection with
curricular systems and educational programs provided and supported by TCIS that shall
equal or exceed the standard of quality of Choice Schools utilizing Licensed Trademarks.

iii. TCIS shall assist the TCIS Schools if necessary and as reasonably requested, in maintaining
the quality standards set out in clauses i and ii above.

e) Intellectual Property Ownership. The District acknowledges that it will not obtain any ownership
interest in the Licensed Trademarks or Licensed Curriculum Materials, regardless of how long this
Agreement remains in effect and regardless of any reason or lack of reason for the termination
thereof. The District shall not knowingly dilute or disparage the Licensed Trademarks. The District
agrees that any and all goodwill associated with the use by the TCIS Schools of the Licensed
Trademarks shall inure to the sole benefit of TCIS. The District further agrees that any and all
intellectual property rights in any improvements or modifications to the curriculum materials or in
any new curriculum materials and related materials or content which are created, or provided to
the TCIS Schools, by or on behalf of the TCIS Schools during the term of this Agreement
(collectively, “New Curriculum Materials”) will also be owned by TCIS, but TCIS hereby grants
to the TCIS Schools a non-exclusive license to use the New Curriculum Materials in connection
with the School Services during the term of this Agreement. Any New Curriculum Materials
created by TCIS or the TCIS Schools employees are not works for hire and the District shall have
no property rights to any such work created or derivative work. Any and all intellectual property
rights in (i) any improvements or modifications to the Licensed Curriculum Materials or New
15
 Curriculum Materials, (ii) any new curriculum materials and related materials or content, in the
case of (i) or (ii) created by the TCIS Schools (including, as between TCIS and the TCIS Schools,
the teaching staff, supervisory and other personnel employed by the School) during the term of
this Agreement; (iii) any Instructional Materials (collectively, the TCIS Schools’) will be owned
by the TCIS Schools but the District hereby grants to the TCIS Schools, subject to any limitations
on its ownership rights in Instructional Materials, a non-exclusive, perpetual royalty-free license
to use the TCIS Schools’ Intellectual Property in connection with School Services provided by
TCIS to the TCIS Schools under its management whether during or after the term of this
Agreement; provided however, that nothing shall obligate the TCIS Schools to update or support
the TCIS Schools’ Intellectual Property following the termination of this Agreement. TCIS shall
only use the TCIS Schools’ Intellectual Property in connection with School Services provided by
TCIS to the TCIS Schools under its management in a manner that is consistent with Applicable
Law, including data privacy laws.

f) Use of Intellectual Property Following Termination. Upon the end of this Agreement, the TCIS
Schools and the District shall cease any further use of the Licensed Trademarks, Licensed
Curriculum Materials, and New Curriculum Materials including any improvements or
modifications to the Licensed Curriculum Materials or New Curriculum Materials.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the TCIS Schools be unable, despite diligent efforts on its
part, to obtain and substitute other curriculum materials to replace some or all of the Licensed
Curriculum Materials or New Curriculum Materials in sufficient time for the next school term
commencing after the end of the Agreement, then the TCIS Schools may continue to use those
portions of the curriculum materials and New Curriculum Materials which it was unable to
replace for a maximum of one school year following expiration or termination of this
Agreement, it being understood that (i) TCIS shall provide no updates or other support for such
materials, (ii) the TCIS Schools shall, to the extent practical, remove any Licensed Trademarks
or other marks identifying such materials as part of the TCIS Schools’ curricular program, and
(iii) the TCIS Schools shall cease use of such materials as soon as practical but in no event later
than the end of the school year immediately following the end of this Agreement.

16. Term & Termination.

a) This Agreement shall commence on March 25, 2019, and end on June 30, 2029 (the “Initial
Term”), unless terminated pursuant to its terms.

b) The District may only terminate this Agreement, as described below, after a vote of the full board
with an opportunity for notice and comment and appropriate due process described below. Any
termination by the District may only be approved by a 70% vote of the full Board, which means 5
affirmative votes out of 7 board members.

c) The District may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration date if two or more TCIS
Schools:

i. Fail to meet generally accepted accounting standards for fiscal management, following
written notice from the District and a 60-day opportunity to cure;

ii. Fail to meet the metrics set forth in those Schools’ performance contracts after a three- or
five-year review period;

iii. Are rated as “improvement required” or otherwise fail to meet state accountability
standards after their second school year in operation; or

16
 iv. Are in the bottom five percent in comparison to all District campuses based on the
District’s School Performance Framework after their second school year in operation.

d) In accordance with 19 Texas Administrative Code section 97.1075(d)(5) due process will be
afforded TCIS as follows:

i. A requirement of a public hearing at least 30 days prior to any action to terminate this
management agreement when the TCIS Schools have successfully met the performance
expectations and goals described in this agreement; and

ii. A requirement of a public hearing at least 30 days prior to any action to extend this
management agreement when the TCIS Schools have failed to successfully meet the
performance expectations and goals described in this agreement.

e) Following the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement may be extended by agreement of the
Parties (as reflected in each case in a written renewal agreement) for successive ten-year periods
(each a “Renewal Term”).

f) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to its expiration date by the Parties, with or
without cause, upon mutual written consent.

g) This Agreement may be terminated prior to its expiration date by the District if the District delivers
a written notice of termination (including the reasons therefor) to TCIS, in the event that (i) TCIS
commences any case or proceeding, or files any petition in bankruptcy, or for reorganization,
liquidation or dissolution, or has been adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or applies to any tribunal
for a receiver, intervener, conservator or trustee for itself or for any substantial part of its property,
(ii) an administrative or judicial body has suspended or revoked any license which may be required
for TCIS to carry on its business and perform its obligations under this Agreement other than for
technical paperwork violations, (iii) TCIS violates any material provision of law with respect to
the TCIS Schools from which the TCIS Schools were not specifically exempted, (iv) TCIS is found
by a court of competent jurisdiction, or other lawful authority to have made fraudulent use of the
TCIS Schools’ funds, (v) TCIS breaches any of the material terms and conditions of this
Agreement, provided TCIS has not cured the breach within sixty (60) District work days from
receipt of a notice of breach from the District; or (vi) TCIS receives a qualified audit opinion and
fails to remedy any material underlying basis for the qualified audit opinion including, but not
limited to, material errors within the audit, within 60 working days. The notice of termination shall
be delivered at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of termination and shall be
effective at the close of the school year in which such notice is issued.

h) In the event the District terminates the Agreement for a reason outside of the defined material
terms and conditions of this Agreement, not including section 19(r), then the District’s termination
under this paragraph can only take effect at the end of the school year following the District’s
Board of Trustees providing 180 days prior written notice. By way of example, if there are 179
days left in the current school year when written notice is given, the termination would not be
effective until the end of the next school year. The District shall compensate TCIS for all actual
costs incurred by TCIS related to the District’s exiting the Agreement, including, but not limited
to, the loss of the Management Fee for the TCIS Schools for a period of two years, the cost of
leasing of a separate facility in Bexar County (if any), limited to the market value of the current
leased or District provided premises, incurred by TCIS for a period of two years, and any other
personnel or operational costs incurred by TCIS as a result of the termination. The District agrees
that such compensation is not a penalty or meant to be punitive and hereby waives and agrees it

17
 will not assert any defense that this compensation is a penalty or meant to be punitive to invalidate
this compensation.

i) This Agreement may be terminated prior to its expiration date by TCIS if it delivers a written
notice of termination (including the reasons therefor) to the District, at least ninety (90) days prior
to the intended Termination Date, in the event that (i) the District materially breaches any of the
material terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided the District has not cured the breach
within thirty (30) District working days from receipt of a notice of breach from TCIS, (ii) the
District takes any action which materially interferes with the ability of TCIS or the TCIS Schools
to provide services under this Agreement, (iii) the District’s leadership, the Superintendent and a
majority of the School Board, oppose the continuation of this Agreement or oppose the idea of a
cooperative working relationship between the District and charters as provided for in this
Agreement, or (iv) the District, unreasonably and without proper cause, revokes any of the TCIS
Schools’ Charters. Any termination by TCIS pursuant to this Section shall be effective as of the
end of the then-current school year, provided that TCIS and the District shall endeavor to establish
a transition plan for withdrawal of TCIS and its replacement by another management company or
internal District personnel, as determined by the TCIS Schools, within a shorter period of time to
the extent practicable and in the best interests of the TCIS Schools students.

j) Upon termination of this Agreement, whether with or without cause (other than pursuant to clauses
15(f) and (h) above, TCIS shall be entitled to a prorated Management Fee for the portion of the
fiscal year up to the Termination Date, computed based upon the number of days in the fiscal year
up to the date of termination divided by the total number of days in the fiscal year. To the extent
this Agreement is terminated as permitted, then such termination shall be without liability to any
Party or to any affiliate, shareholder, trustee, director, officer or representative of such Party, and
following such termination no Party shall have any liability under this Agreement or relating to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than in this Section; provided that no such
termination shall relieve any Party from liability in respect of breaches by such Party prior to such
termination.

17. Indemnification; Insurance.

a) To the greatest extent allowed by Texas Law, the District shall indemnify and hold harmless TCIS,
its affiliates, subsidiaries, trustees, directors, officers, agents, servants, and employees (each, an
“Indemnitee”), from and against any and all damages, claims, liability, losses and expenses
incurred by any Indemnitee in respect of, arising out of, or involving, a claim made by any third-
party against any Indemnitee resulting from or arising in connection with any advice, guidance,
act or omission on the part of the District, its trustees, directors, officers, directors, agents, servants
or employees, whether in connection with the services or support functions to be provided under
this Agreement or activities undertaken by the District on behalf of other schools, excluding,
however, any liability resulting from or arising in connection with (i) actions taken by the District
at the express request or direction of TCIS, (ii) any advice, guidance, acts or omissions by the
District premised on a misrepresentation or failure to disclose information when under an
obligation to do so by the person or entity seeking indemnification, or (iii) any liability to the
extent arising as a result of negligence, intentional tort, fraud or criminal conduct on the part of
TCIS or any of its trustees, officers, agents, or employees.

b) If a third party claim is made against an Indemnitee, that does not include a claim for liability
resulting from or arising in connection with (i) actions taken by the District at the express request
or direction of TCIS, (ii) any advice, guidance, acts or omissions by the District premised on a
misrepresentation or failure to disclose information when under an obligation to do so by the

18
 person or entity seeking indemnification, or (iii) any liability to the extent arising as a result of
negligence, intentional tort, fraud or criminal conduct on the part of TCIS or any of its trustees,
officers, agents or employees, then such Indemnitee shall give written notice to the District of
such claim as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnitee has received notice thereof
(provided that failure to give timely notice shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the
District hereunder except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice has
materially prejudiced the ability of the District to defend the claim). The District shall defend such
claim, at the District’s own expense or through its insurance as applicable and with counsel
selected by the District and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, provided that an
Indemnitee shall at all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense at its own expense
unless the Indemnitee and the District reasonably determine that representation of Indemnitee and
the District by the same counsel would materially prejudice the interest of District or the
Indemnitee; provided that the District will only be responsible under such circumstances for the
expenses of a single additional counsel for all Indemnitees). If the District shall fail to commence
a defense against such claim within thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been given by
an Indemnitee to the District or if the District shall not diligently pursue such defense, such
Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of, and to
compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), the claim on behalf, for the
account, and at the risk and expense (including the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees of such
Indemnitee regardless of whether the Indemnitee prevails against the third party claim) of the
District. If the District assumes the defense of such claim, the obligation of the District hereunder
as to such claim shall include taking all reasonably necessary steps in the defense of such claim.

c) The District shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or settle or compromise any third party
demands, claims, actions, suits or proceedings for which an Indemnitee has sought indemnification
from the District and for which Indemnitee has not been fully released unless it shall have given
such Indemnitee not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the proposed consent,
settlement or compromise, and afforded such Indemnitee an opportunity to consult with the
District regarding the proposed consent, settlement or compromise, and shall not consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise without the approval of such
Indemnitee. An Indemnitee shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of a proposed
consent, settlement or compromise. In determining whether to give its approval, an Indemnitee
may consider whether the proposed consent, settlement or compromise includes as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to such Indemnitee of a release from all
liabilities and obligations of whatever kind or nature in respect of such claim except the liabilities
and obligations satisfied by the District. If the Indemnitee unreasonably withholds its approval of
a proposed consent settlement or compromise, and shall not consent to the entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement or compromise that provides the Indemnitee with a release from all
liabilities and obligations of whatever kind or nature in respect of such claim except the liabilities
and obligations satisfied by the District, Indemnitee shall continue its defense at its own cost and
the District is not required to provide any additional amounts above the proposed consent
settlement or compromise in any subsequent consent, settlement, judgment or compromise
negotiated by Indemnitee.

d) The rights to indemnification and reimbursement provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section
shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a trustee, director, officer, agent, servant
or employee of TCIS (or any other person indemnified hereunder) but only for claims based upon
events that occurred while the Indemnitee was a trustee, director, officer, agent, servant or
employee of TCIS. The provisions of this Section shall be a contract between the District, on the
one hand, and each Indemnitee who served at any time while this Section is in effect in any capacity
entitling such Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant to which the
19
 District and each such Indemnitee intend to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this
Section 16 shall affect any rights or obligations with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore
existing or thereafter arising or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or
threatened based in whole or in part upon such state of facts.

e) Accidents. The District agrees to request from its insurance carriers that TCIS be added as an
additional named insured on any District held policies of insurance related to transportation or
general liability. The District will provide TCIS with a copy of each insurance policy, indicating
TCIS as an additional insured, within 10 business days of receipt of documentation from the
District’s insurance carriers. The District will also notify TCIS of any policy change and provide
TCIS with updated records upon any changes in coverage.

18. No Waiver of Immunity.

a) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be read to waive the immunity granted by TEC, Chapter
22, Subchapter B, and TEC, Chapter 12, Subchapter C. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties
acknowledge, stipulate and agree that this Agreement is a contract for goods and services subject
to Chapter 271, Subchapter I of the Texas Local Government Code in that TCIS is providing goods
and services to the District and that the District is also providing goods and services to TCIS that
this Agreement is duly authorized and properly executed by both the District and TCIS and that
immunity is waived, to the extent set forth in Chapter 271, Subchapter I of the Texas Local
Government Code, as between TCIS and the District for purposes of adjudicating any future claim
for breach of this contract.

b) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to either
Party or in any circumstances shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any
